Will this work on rough surfaces? I dust shelves that are rough and using a Swiffer results in fuzz all over them.

Thanks to all who have replied. Everyone has contributed so much to the conversation. I appreciate it! It is wonderful to see so many finding their Fluffy Microfiber Duster by CleansGreen serving them so well.

It works on all types of surfaces although some work better then others on the rough surfaces. This probably won't get the area 100% clean like you might want it, but it is better than nothing!

How much better is this than Swiffer dusters and other disposable ones like that? Why?

Yes, but like a feather duster, just an airy brush back and forth would work better than trying to lay it down and drag it over shelf. I've used it to dust the brick/rock front of by fireplace.

Yes, it should work fine on rough surfaces, depending on how 'rough' you are taking about. The fiber strands will catch on some things, but you won't have any fuzz or anything like that. Wonderful little duster!

I have textured paint on my baker's rack and the Microfiber Duster works fine on it, no problems with fuzz.

I used this product to remove years of grime from antique negatives and a few prints. It did remove some adhesive from a black and white print. Could you try it in an inconspicuous area first? You could also ask at a professional photographic store--not a big box photo department--that does specialty processing.

I have honestly only tried it on commercial grade carpet. The really really unpadded NOT fluffy stuff. It does get the bigger crumbs, from where I eat and walk around the office, pretty well. Picks up things like paper clips, so I would assume it would pick up the bigger chunkier things. I would think it would work on slicker surfaces maybe a little bit better because there would be less friction? Just an educated assumption.

That is why I got it. I have hardwood floors and the light microfiber "mops", "swishers" and other ones that have a liquid pump required a lot of effort and rubbing to get the smallest spots of dried dirt up. The Pullman had bristles if you are doing soap/water on a ceramic floor...no issues of scratching. If you do a hard wood floor, you place microfiber pads or clothe over the bristles to keep from scratching.

I tried it only on plastic-like surfaces on outdoor furniture. It did not relieve me of scrubbing so I did not get my money's worth. That's not a slam on the product but on me for trying to buy my way out of hard work.

I use it to grind down concrete floors teamed with a Dust Deputy and I've never had a problem with dust or filters clogging. I imagine it would be the same with drywall dust, just make sure you have the proper attachments to fit your sander though I have used Ferncos to adapt to different tool dust ports.

I love this product. I vacuum first then I use the pad with the cleaner. I have not used a swiffer before and this cleaner doesn't leave any film on the floor.

I haven't tried it on dust, but it might work - it has enough power, I think, to do so. It works really well on crumbs.

You can use the swiffer on vinyl floors. We have used one for years and the flooring looks as good as the day it was installed!

A box of the Swiffer dry dusting cloths will come in handy for this. I use a single layer in front of my computer air intake fans, do the same with any of these fans. It won't look very pretty, but they work well to keep dirt out.

It doesn't really "pick up" more than dust, but will push large chunks into a pile. It's great for quickly sweeping large spaces. I wouldn't necessarily call it a detail/nook and cranny cleaning tool though.

The Swiffer is capable of holding a LOT of dust, But if your ceiling fan is anything like my ceiling fan, it doesn't get dusted very often. When I haven't been using the fan and haven't dusted it in a while, the Swiffer pad can get overloaded and just push the dust it cant grasp off onto whatever is below. But I take responsibility for that, for not remembering to dust it often enough.

The other comments are spot-on. Will not get into tight area, rough finish, lots of dust. But it will strip these. I used it on 30 year old southern pine boards to remove finish then used a finishing sander. For bannister refinish, it might be easier to remove, strip, and reinstall.

Yes! Even though I dust once a week! Dust both sticks to Swiffer and flies throughout room. If dusting over a bed maybe put down something - like cut open one of those jumbo trash bags or lay down a drop cloth.

I have only used it on carpeting. Because it has spinning brushes I dont think it would work well on a hard surface with a powdery substance. I would recommend a dry vacuum with a good filter.

It works best on smooth surfaces with sharp edges. On rough surfaces, the edge is not crisp but it will do provided the cart is moved slower.

Hi Heather, I haven't used a spray with the swiffer as I only use it for light dusting, in-between my 'real' dusting. I think it works very well for what I need it for as is. So in answer to your question I would say no.
